"Did you cheat on me with Debra Winger?"
What I failed to mention is that I had a serious girlfriend at the time (three years ago.) She is pictured above (the Biscuit). In any case, today the following e-mail conversation coincidentally took place between her, now my ex-girlfriend, and I. It started from totally out of the blue.
Biscuit: Did you cheat on me with Debra Winger?
Marty: What? No, why?
Biscuit: I’m perusing your blog. I should be working.
Marty: "Did you cheat on me with Debra Winger?" Now that's something you don't hear everyday.
Biscuit: I remember coming to get you after that night and stepped barefoot on some “wetness” next to your bed.
Marty: Did I piss, vomit or drool myself?
Biscuit: None of the above.
Marty: Jerked off on myself?
Biscuit: Yup. I was mildly impressed.
Marty: That’s gross.
Biscuit: Eh. I prefer to think of it as funny.
Marty: That’s what I like about you.
Biscuit: Aww. Well, you know what I don’t like? Meetings. Also, why is it only 2:37? Feels like 6:45.
Marty: Just wondering, do you like awards ceremonies?
Biscuit: No, I don’t like awards ceremonies. I would rather contract avian flu and be forced to seek medical attention than eat egg rolls at the Hilton.
Marty: What about the band Kung Faux? Do you like the band Kung Faux?
Biscuit: I think they’re so post-rock.
Marty: Hey, remember that story about the guy who ate his boogers and skin?
Biscuit: Should I?
Marty: You know, the compulsive weirdo story we collaborated on but never finished?
Biscuit: Ah, yes. I remember. What about it?
Marty: Do you have any trace of it? Twould like to read it, maybe blog about it.
Biscuit: Did we write it down? Shall check my laptop for notes. In the meantime, wanna thumb wrestle?
Marty: No, not really.
Biscuit: How about a haiku battle?
Marty: Bring it.
Biscuit: Here is my ode to crack baby dogs.
opposable paw
moonlit crack on a hot spoon
weep for wide eye hound
Marty: Pretty good.
innocence threatened
deep craving in canine loins
genetic junkie
Biscuit: Round one to me. Here’s my ode to the
humanoid rat.
hairy little man
please put the toilet seat down
and i'll give you cheese
Marty: Alright.
fill your gutter mouth
dust from your vermin belly
regurgitate shit
Biscuit: Tie. Btw, you totally cheated on me with Debra Winger. Pig.
